My heart breaks for you and I know how frightened you must be. I too have been diagnosed a few weeks ago with Uterine Cancer. They say the Grade is slow growing but they do not know the stage as everyone says staging and grade can change with pathology. I’m scheduled in a week for a total hysterectomy removing ovaries and tubes etc. praying it is contained and knowing God does heal is helpful to me. I have been researching though an have run across some resources that might help you. They are encouraging me at least, that cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Look online for the following:

Chrisbeatcancer.com - he is a 20 year survivor of stage 111c colon cancer and also has a ton of YouTube interviews with other cancer survivors. It’s so encouraging to hear these stories and learn from what they did!

There is also another series out there that I am in the middle of by Ty Bolinger, title The Truth About Cancer. 9 parts very informative.

I am just starting this journey as well and we all need all of the encouragement we can get. I will be praying for God to equip you with the knowledge that we are not powerless. Don’t ever feel bad for focusing on your health and for reaching out!! May God’s peace and healing power flood you today!

God Bless! 🙏🏻

Thank you for reaching out. I hope we can stay connected through our journeys. I booked marked your comments. I appreciate the resource referrals.

So from my experience, I had robotic assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy. The recovery was fast. I'm posted menopausal so I don't miss those part and really nothing seems or feels different.

I'm using several complimentary therapies and life style changes to help reduce symptoms of chemotherapy (I refer to as therapy or treatment). The worst symptom for me is hair loss, but I know that going into it. I bought beautiful wigs.(Your insurance may cover them your Dr may not tell you that) I'm looking at all this as a personal experiment. So far example I haven't shaved my head although it coming out pretty fast now because I want to know how long it takes and if some hair will remain. I'm just wrapping what I have and cover it with a wig.

I had know idea how much I like my wigs! I wear them every day all day. I have 4 and a halo. I'm turning into Dolly Parton 😊

Emotionally I swing between very blue, sometimes doom and gloom to hopeful, optimistic and proud of myself . That that can happen within a few days. I think I'm at a place where I can stop searching for answers and start trusting the process, for now. I reserve the right to change my mind in the future.
